You know, have a mindset that everything is okay.

Life will work out.

Don't stress yourself.

And any opportunity you get to stimulate your brain, stimulate your brain.

You don't have to do anything dramatic.

You don't have to buy any new equipment.

You don't have to go anywhere special.

Just make a simple mindset of checking these routines every day.

Now, if one day you don't walk, it's not the end of the world.

That's okay.

You can do more next day.

Like if you had a bag of French fries today, or you went somewhere, there was a lot of ice cream, you ate more than ice cream than you're supposed to, that's okay.

Just make a habit of doing a little bit every day toward your brain health, realizing that benefits compound over time.

See, if you have...

financial decision-making, you will put your money in certain stocks and then you bring in new investment all the time.

Like a regular basis, you put money in that investment so that it will grow over time and it will compound over time.

And you also reduce things that are like negative income or negative source of attacks, such as stress is really bad for your brain or nutrition is bad for your brain.

So just like you can have a financial portfolio and you can expand it, think of your brain as a brain portfolio and plan to expand it for your retirement years.

One thing you could do to optimize doing the five pillars of brain health is to combine them.

For example, if you go hiking with a bunch of friends and you talk about different things and you'll learn in the process that, you know, about stock market or about science or anything else, you've learned something and you have exercise and you've been in nature, which is also a great thing.
